Our Minister

Reverend Nancy McDonald Ladd

Welcome!

As Unitarian Universalists, we adhere to the old maxim, "You don't have to think alike to love alike." In our congregation, we don't ask for conformity. What we do ask is so much more rewarding; simply that each individual show up, complete with all the joys and fears, the near-certainties and the glaring uncertainties that fill their own faith lives, and commit to being in relationship with others who are searching too.

We are an intellectually engaged congregation. Reason, far from being anti-religious, is one of the many tools we have for navigating the often rocky terrain of ethical decision making.

We are a spiritually nourishing congregation. In our worship and devotional life, in our joyful singing and our times of contemplation, we deepen our connection to that which gives our lives meaning.

We are a justice-centered congregation. It is how we live out our beliefs that matters most. Our members strive to express their values through concrete action in the world.

We are a warmly welcoming congregation. Every visitor, friend, and member contributes to our community life.

If you’d like to find out more about Unitarian Universalism or about this congregation, I welcome your interest and invite you to experience the thriving energy that is the Bull Run Unitarian Universalists for yourself. Come to a Sunday service, stop by the church or contact me with your hopes, needs, questions, or concerns.

Peace,

Nancy E. McDonald Ladd
Minister, Bull Run Unitarian Universalists
